So im getting the Shadetree Fabrications rear fender for my bike but im still looking for ideas for mounting the turn signals. Im probably not going to try to reuse the old ones since they are huge and wont look right. I saw a bike at a custom shop that had very small ones that mounted just under the springer seat. Thinking about going with that idea since it will hide the wires well. Also looking for a license plate mount. Have one in mind that comes with a brake light and its horizontal (which is legal here).

Anyone have ideas for turn signals or know of any like I mentioned. They where fairly small... probably no bigger than your thumb but the lenses themselves looked almost star shaped. Im looking through some vendor stuff but nothing has jumped out at me yet. Also I did pick up the Silencer hand grips and they arent exactly as I thought they where but they still look nice. Im going to try to throw them on tomorrow and take her out for a quickie.
Here's what the fender should look like and some decent turn signals... just dont like how low and wide they are.

I used Auto-Gem Deringer lights .... mounted the lights to a set of front turn signal relocation brackets...
and then mounted to holes from the removed fender struts...
I also used a controller so the turns work as running / brake lights...
Here is an old picture...
notice the old upper fender bracket....
I also power coated the brackets since the picture...
Let me know if you have any questions during your fender install...

Im probably getting a drag specialties half moon brake/license plate kit. I just want my turn signals higher up where they are visible... people in Florida are pretty crappy at driving so I'd rather be safe than sorry. Plus I like the look of the small turn signals. Still an idea though thank you.
